Bill > SB318

This bill amends the Dee Johnson Clean Indoor Air Act to include e-cigarettes. Key provisions of the bill: 1. Defines "e-cigarette" as any product containing or delivering nicotine or any other substance intended for human consumption that can be used to produce vapor or aerosol. 2. Prohibits the use of e-cigarettes in the same places where smoking is currently prohibited under the Act, such as indoor workplaces, public places, and certain outdoor areas near building entrances. 3. Establishes a "smokefree area" that extends a reasonable distance from any entrances, windows, and ventilation systems of buildings and facilities where smoking is prohibited, to ensure secondhand smoke does not enter those areas. The bill aims to include e-cigarettes in the state's existing clean indoor air regulations, which were originally enacted to protect people from the health risks of secondhand tobacco smoke.
